5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 7/2/18

There's value all over the Cleveland lineup for tonight's matchup with Jake Junis. Which low-cost hitters should you target on Monday?

With production being highly variable on a night-to-night basis, daily fantasy baseball plays a bit differently than other sports.

An 0-for-4 dud from a chalky high-priced slugger is a lot more common than a total dud from a top-priced NBA player or even than a stinker from a top quarterback or running back.
